Donek Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I spent Monday and Tuesday at the Race to the Cup. I took over 10 Gigs of photos, so what I'm posting tonight is just a few that stood out as good images. I'll definitely post more after the Holiday if people wish.

Thor VonRippington Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Great post Sean... thanks for the pics. I got to see some of the action on Monday and hope to see more this season. If any of you are in the area of these races... don't miss out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skategoat Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 That first photo...that's...not...Jasey...on...a...K...KK...Kessler, is it? Say it ain't so. How bout some pics of the Canadian girls who finished 1st and 3rd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Kesslers on all three spots of the men's PGS podium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfell Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Jasey was on a Coiler for SL. Honestly this week was the best I've seen Jasey ride ever. The Canidians have some young talent coming up and it looks like it's made Jasey push it a bit harder coming into this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philfell Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Also note the body position in all these heelside positions. Thanks for supporting the race series this year Sean. Hopefully with coverage like this from yourself, bomber, and hardbooter some of the things that are happening in the upper levels of the sport will trickle down to the "masses" quicker, and we'll all become better riders because of it.

bobdea Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I'd like to play with the nifty plate that people are putting on the kesslers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavechaser Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Nice shot of Klug with the BURTON logo on the suit and the Kessler under the feet! Looks like he's on Sigi's Hangl-Spirig Race Plate System too - same with Jasey. That snow looks soooo nice after the "b-plate" I raced on here in the east last year!

Red Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 This is Jasey in Landgraaf last a little over a month ago with Mirjam Brakenhoff, our Dutch hope for the coming years. The boards look like Kesslers, ride like kesslers so, what do you think they are, Coilers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 is making metal boards these days, just a matter of time 'till someone figures out what exactly is making the kesslers so dominant and you'll see coilers, doneks and all sorts of stuff on the podium! what's the black thing under those cateks in the last picture?

Bordy Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Kesslers and F2 binders on hingle plates (Its not made by or part of the sigi camp) under almost everyones feet..... Jaseys and Klugs also. Both Jasey and Morrison in the small finals on metal Coilers. Talked with lots of plate riders Very interesting.....

Bordy Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 what's the black thing under those cateks in the last picture? Big thick rubber pad. Now JJ is running F2 intecs..On the plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordy Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Nice shot of Klug with the BURTON logo on the suit and the Kessler under the feet! Not Klug... Ryan Macdonald. Klug is on a Kessler + Plate f2 binder set up also though. All the Team suits have the burton logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldkey Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 ....especially considering the lighting conditions. I should have come up with you on the hill to have gotten some tips....my D70 just did not cut it with the light. As Phil said, thank you so very much for supporting all of the riders....especially the younger riders that are so very important to the continuation of this sport.

wavechaser Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Kesslers and F2 binders on hingle plates (Its not made by or part of the sigi camp) under almost everyones feet... Thanks for the clarifications Bordy and all. Funny that all the team suits have Burton logos and Burton got out of the alpine game. I understand that it could just as easily say "Campbell's Soup", but I still find it strange. I guess I associated the Hangl plates with Sigi because of this... http://netsh21274.dbdserver.de/phpkit/include.php?path=content/news.php&contentid=186&PHPKITSID=2e012c5408f1d7548f825d174f6266eb ...love to try that out some time!

djlepper Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 oldkey, I don't think it's the camera, judging by your picture - it's probably the lens. Try getting good zoom lens with fixed light (F2.8 preferably - bad thing is that they are kinda costly), and shoot on manual settings, so the camera does not compensate for all the bright reflections from the snow. It will make all the difference. Sean, great pictures. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timinor Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Bordy, The bindings attach to the plates...so how do the plates attach to the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldkey Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yes that is Adam.....it was fun watching Dustin, Adam and Jessie (sp?) ride. They are all getting so very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldkey Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 DJlepper I have the 2.8 AF Nikon 70 - 200, but did not shoot in manual. This setup shoots lacrosse on sunny days beautifully. But....a great example of where a high end camera/lens can not compensate for a rookie photographer. Time to find a class.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdea Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 with ski screws maybe someone is putting inserts in near the edges, that would seem to make sense the minute that option is available with coilers I will be all over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Sean, your camera is awesome. Can I get a hi res version of the last one #20 ? Who is that kid ? I set it up for wallpaper but 161 KB doesn't do it justice. I'm thinking of getting that same lightning race suit off Sinecure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
